Deputy Director for Science Translation and Outreach, Institute of the Environment
Associate Professor and Associate Extension Specialist, School of Natural Resources and the Environment

I work to bridge the science-society interface in order to accelerate the transfer of University of Arizona environmental and climate science findings and techniques to resource managers, planners, policy makers, and other decision-makers in the region. This involves fostering dialogues between scientists and stakeholders, garnering the input of partners to research agendas and activities, developing sustained interactions between University of Arizona environmental scientists, environmental professionals, decision-makers and the public, disseminating research results and products, and conducting workshops on topics of interest to Southwest decision-makers.

UA Associate Professor Emeritus
Department of Mathematics

My latest book is "Science, SETI and Mathematics". My first three are "Functional Analysis", "Functional Analysis and Linear Operator Theory" and "Harmonic Analysis- a gentle introduction". In recent years I have written a number of papers about SETI (search for extra-terrestrial intelligence).
